Rank   Name Release Directed by Genre(s) Actor(s)
  1. 1
    1999
    David Fincher
    Drama, Psychological thriller, Thriller, Action, Action/Adventure, Black comedy, Cult, Satire, Airplanes and airports, Existentialism More
    Rachel Singer, Edward Norton, Richmond Arquette, George Maguire, Meat Loaf, Ezra Buzzington, Jared Leto, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, Eugenie Bondurant, Zach Grenier, David Andrews, Christina Cabot, Bob Stephenson, Tim De Zarn More
    The absolute defining movie of the pre-9/11 malaise experience.
  2. 2
    1994
    Frank Darabont
    Drama, Period piece, Crime, Crime Fiction, Prison film
    William Sadler, Joseph Ragno, Larry Brandenburg, Bob Gunton, Jeffrey DeMunn, Brian Libby, Mark Rolston, Tim Robbins, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, James Whitmore, Renee Blaine, Neil Giuntoli, David Proval, Paul McCrane, Jude Ciccolella, Morgan Freeman More
    Really a pretty simple movie. It has one clear arch with the single most powerful movie climax I've ever experienced.
  3. 3
    1997
    Gus Van Sant
    Drama, Romance Film, Indie, Romantic drama, Coming of age
    Colleen McCauley, George Plimpton, Matt Damon, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgård, Robin Williams, Cole Hauser, Rachel Majorowski, John Mighton, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Harmony Korine More
    As a cocky young lad with too big an ego about my intelligence, this movie really spoke to me. Also had ""series"" Robin Williams at his best.
  4. 4
    Darren Aronofsky
    Drama, Thriller, Science Fiction
    Joanne Gordon, Samia Shoaib, Lauren Fox, Ben Shenkman, Espher Lao Nieves, Pamela Hart, Clint Mansell, Mark Margolis, Ajay Naidu, Sean Gullette, Kristyn Mae-Anne Lao, Stephen Pearlman More
    A movie I felt like was made just for me. It's not without flaws, but if you can keep in minds how small the budget is, damn impressive.
  5. 5
    Tom Stoppard
    Comedy, Period piece, Parody, Existentialism, Absurdism
    Iain Glen, Joanna Miles, Richard Dreyfuss, Ljubo Zecevic, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman, Donald Sumpter, Ian Richardson, Joanna Roth, Sven Medvešek More
    Stoppard's highbrow-lowbrow rapidfire banter is amazing. If you like the humor of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, and want to take that in a geekery direction, see this.
  6. 6
    1999
    Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
    Thriller, Science Fiction, Martial arts, Action, Adventure, Action/Adventure, Doomsday film, Existentialism More
    Laurence Fishburne, Marcus Chong, Anthony Ray Parker, Belinda McClory, Julian Arahanga, Paul Goddard, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano, Matt Doran, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Gloria Foster More
    Really smart sci-fi in a blockbuster, how about that? The influence of William Gibson and Grant Morrison are clear, but since no one ever made a Neuromancer movie, this is the closest we could get.
  7. 7
    1997
    Jay Roach
    Comedy, Action, Time travel, Crime Fiction, Parody
    Fabiana Udenio, Will Ferrell, Mimi Rogers, Verne Troyer, Michael York, Paul Dillon, Seth Green, Burt Bacharach, Lois Chiles, Carrie Fisher, Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Robert Wagner, Patrick Bristow, Elya Baskin, Christian Slater, Brian George, Cynthia Lamontagne, Cindy Margolis, Mindy Sterling, Joe Son, Tom Arnold, Rob Lowe, Priscilla Presley, Mike Judge More
    The most quotable, most cultable comedy of the era.
  8. 8
    1994
    Quentin Tarantino
    Drama, Thriller, Crime Fiction, Crime Thriller, Black comedy, Indie, Gangster More
    Devan Richardson, Alexis Arquette, Uma Thurman, Rich Turner, Burr Steers, Harvey Keitel, Sy Sher, Venessia Valentino, Robert Ruth, Christopher Walken, Duane Whitaker, Paul Calderon, Carl Allen, Jerome Patrick Hoban, Rene Beard, Laura Lovelace, Quentin Tarantino, Eric Clark, Ving Rhames, Lawrence Bender, Joseph Pilato, Brad Parker, Gary Shorelle, Kathy Griffin, Stephen Hibbert, Ani Sava, Peter Greene, Steve Buscemi, Lorelei Leslie, Susan Griffiths, Glendon Rich, Bruce Willis, Julia Sweeney, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Phil LaMarr, Maria de Medeiros, Frank Whaley, Bronagh Gallagher, Angela Jones, Don Blakely, Michael Gilden, Brenda Hillhouse, Chandler Lindauer, Linda Kaye, Emil Sitka, Dick Miller More
    Tarantino burst on the scene and was just on fire. I'll take Pulp just barely ahead of Reservoir Dogs.
  9. 9
    1995
    Terry Gilliam
    Drama, Psychological thriller, Mystery, Thriller, Science Fiction, Time travel, Dystopia, Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, Doomsday film, Airplanes and airports, Future noir More
    Christopher Plummer, Bruce Willis, Rick Warner, Jon Seda, Brad Pitt, David Morse, Christopher Meloni, Madeleine Stowe, Michael Chance More
    Oh Terry Gilliam, so good when it all comes together.
  10. 10
    1997
    Kevin Smith
    Drama, Comedy, LGBT, Romance Film, Romantic comedy, Indie, Sex comedy
    Guinevere Turner, Joey Lauren Adams, Brian O'Halloran, Carmen Llywelyn, Jason Lee, Virginia Smith, Casey Affleck, Ethan Suplee, Jason Mewes, Ben Affleck, Dwight Ewell, Matt Damon, Kevin Smith, Scott Mosier More
    Kevin Smith was big for me in this era, and Chasing Amy is the film that sticks with me the most.
